Moncler

The origins of the name lie in its very roots: Moncler is in fact an abbreviation of Monestier-de-Clermont, a mountain village near Grenoble. Here, in 1952 inspired entrepreneurs René Ramillon and Andrè Vincent founded the company which would go on to produce the renowned down jacket.

The first down jackets were conceived to protect workers who wore them over their overalls against the cold, in the small mountain factory. French mountaineer Lionel Terray first noticed them and foresaw their potential. The ‘Moncler pour Lionel Terray’ high performace collection was born.

Working on fit, aesthetic research, experimentalism and materials, Moncler’s universal spirit distinguishes itself, as does its ever increasing variety of purposes, ensuring the utmost attention on quality.
